Fantasy Impacts: The team with the most roster-wide action today, the Rockets only sent away one rotation guy in Hill, and added two aging vets. Camby, who likes the idea of Houston as far as I can tell, will step in and form a timeshare with Dalembert. I’m not going to rush to drop Dally too quickly, though, as Hill’s exit might still provide enough minutes for the two to co-exist. There’s also the issue of Camby’s health. Patrick Patterson will be worth watching over the next week, too, as any slippage by Scola and the aforementioned bigs could open the door for him. Still, I’m not running to make the add. Martin’s owners didn’t get any relief from Kevin McHale, but I’m thinking the passing of the deadline will bring closure to some of the stressful issues facing him. Lee is a loser today, as he’ll need Martin to take a dive to have any real value. Ditto Budinger. Chandler Parsons leaves the day the same way he came in – worth owning in 12-team formats while he’s hot. Dragic is still a must-start player for the foreseeable future.

Fantasy Impacts: Jackson couldn’t have landed in a sweeter situation, as he has Gregg Popovich’s trust and respect and vice-versa. The Spurs have also had trouble scoring at times, which means that Jackson will be encouraged to score the ball when he’s on the floor. I’m projecting a 25-32 minute role as he’ll slowly get up to speed, and while we know the warts (FG% and TOs), targeting low-end value for him makes sense. The exit of Jefferson could also free up minutes for Kawhi Leonard, too, so keep an eye on him over the coming days. That said, I’m not running to the wire in 12-14 team formats. The DNPs and potential injuries to the Big Three could also bump both Jackson and Leonard up the list, along with Gary Neal and Danny Green, per usual.

Fantasy Impacts: None. The Wolves liked what they had and why not? The Beasley deal fell apart and so did his fantasy value, which is a bit shocking with Beasley being a guy that most felt would be dealt. Don’t downgrade Derrick Williams too much because of this development, but it’s certainly not helping him if Beasley can get healthy and in Rick Adelman’s good graces. On the bright side, Ricky Rubio’s injury cleared up a lot of minutes for Williams to tap into through osmosis.

Fantasy Impacts: I’m a bit giddy because I’ve been that guy telling you guys to hang onto your Blazers assets while the ship was sinking, pointing to the firing of Nate McMillan as the tide to raise all boats. Well it happened, and it couldn’t have worked out much better for Raymond Felton, Jamal Crawford, and Wesley Matthews, and Nicolas Batum is about to become a superstar. Yes, Felton has Jonny Flynn behind him all of a sudden, but let’s be real. He’s coming into a new situation and just isn’t that good, despite some evidence of talent early on in his career. The other salient point here removal of redundant rotation parts will allow the offense to flow better, and the team-wide shake-up and removal of McMillan is going to allow guys to play the way they want, for better or for worse. I’m betting against McMillan here, as he has a long history of problems with personnel decisions and a system that has not been able to take advantage of strengths and weaknesses. Felton could also fall off the wagon, believing he’s public enemy No. 1 and the like, but I think he should be owned in all 12-team leagues, while Crawford should be owned in all formats for his expected production. Matthews falls somewhere between the two, and depending on your team needs he can switch places with Felton.

Fantasy Impacts: We’ve covered this a whole bunch, but Klay Thompson is going to be a key component of winning fantasy squads in the playoffs. Do not drop nor move him. From there I believe Wright and Nate Robinson should be owned in all 8/9 cat, 12-team formats, while Brandon Rush is also worth a look. Jefferson could be plugged into the lineup right away because the Warriors brass likes to justify its bad transactions by putting them on full display, but he is not a good fit for the team and will need to get acclimated. That’ll give owners a week or so to evaluate both Wright and Rush, who will be most impacted by Jefferson’s presence. And if you want to take a flier on Rush having more value than Wright, be my guest, as Rush is a favorite of Mark Jackson’s and will gobble up minutes at both wing slots. Robinson has the upside of a Stephen Curry shutdown and has a shot at low-end value even if Curry stays healthy, particularly because S-Jax won’t be around.

On a side note, the Warriors paid $12 million and got tied into an extra year of a contract for Jefferson (one beyond next year) – all for the right to package some second round picks into a top 15-20 draft pick next season. Hand down man down.

Fantasy Impacts: Nene, if healthy, will be expected to produce and be a team leader right away, and playing with John Wall his production should be just fine. A bigger winner today, though, was Andray Blatche, who if healthy will be playing behind a more injury prone player in Nene. The entire rotation gained minutes with Young heading out, too. And the BIGGEST winner was Crawford, who has the starting job all to himself. Crawford should be owned in all formats, Trevor Booker should have already been owned but also gets a little relief with more minutes leaving than are coming in, and Blatche is worth added consideration on your stash scale with the semi-positive developments. Of course, there’s also the chance that the team’s fumigation, as David Aldridge put it on NBATV, will make everybody play better. Good times in Washington.

We came, we saw, and we conquered about 72 hours of continuous trade deadline coverage over here, and I’m sure I set a personal record for Red Bull consumption and the like. Without further ado, your fantasy value matrix and trade deadline breakdown.

Fantasy Impacts: Kemba Walker won’t get an easy pass to the starting job, but he’s still worth owning in most formats for his expected heavy workload. Diaw might get thrown back into the mix, or bought out, but he’s somebody to stay away from for now.

Fantasy Impacts: Ilyasova was a trade candidate from way back, and Gooden was from a few weeks back. Gooden’s recent tear probably priced him out of the market, and Jennings’ trade chances were squashed after the team acquired Ellis. Ellis’ value is going to take a dip, if anything, as will Jennings’ value. Don’t go crazy trying to unload them, though, as the Bucks are turning into a sneaky fastbreak team. Udoh is worth dropping for a hot free agent because his upside will be capped, but one has to think that Scott Skiles will use the promising youngster (famous last words). If the wire looks thin, playing it out with Udoh could make sense if you need a big or blocks. The removal of Jackson doesn’t impact the rotation, but it does take a threat to Carlos Delfino’s value off the board. And while most analysts cringe at the thought of two ball-holding guards playing together, their playmaking ability should give Delfino better looks from the 3-point line. Any decrease in touches could easily be offset by greater efficiency, assuming of course Delfino can hit his shot. Not moving Mbah a Moute and Livingston is a bit of a nuisance for somebody like Mike Dunleavy, but he has played so well lately that he needs to be owned in all 12-team formats. Again, the faster pace is the tide that raises all boats. Gooden and Ersanity might slow down a bit with the introduction of Ellis and Udoh, but I’m not selling there.

Fantasy Impacts: The Bulls didn’t acquire a shooting guard, which is good news for the values of Ronnie Brewer, and to a lesser degree, Kyle Korver. Brewer deserves ownership in 12-team formats with the hope he can provide low-end numbers, and there’s a hint of upside in that he can provide versatile numbers and above-average steals (his steals are down in general).

Fantasy Impacts:Kyrie Irving officially gets all the run he can handle and Daniel Gibson immediately becomes worth a look in 12-14 team leagues. He’ll handle backup PG duties and there are few better at stroking it from deep. He has been a bit inconsistent, but there’s a lot to like here. It would have been nice for Tristan Thompson if Jamison had been dealt, but the rookie is basically competing against himself. He’ll be worth watching down the stretch but for now he shouldn’t be near rosters. Alonzo Gee gets even more security with minutes leaving the rotation and none coming in.

Fantasy Impacts: None. Look for the Celtics to try to get in on Chris Kaman if he goes the buyout route, but for now Brandon Bass should be owned in most leagues as a low-end producer. Greg Stiemsma is the guy to watch if you’re trolling for blocks, but he still needs to prove himself. Ray Allen was almost gone, but the Big Four have one more title run in them.

Fantasy Impacts:Nick Young is going to quickly be put in his place by Chris Paul, which means no more fadeaway threes and the like. Young also won’t be handed the keys to the car right away, which means a slow position battle between him and Randy Foye. Foye’s value is likely crushed by this development, and feel free to hang on in deeper formats, but don’t hesitate to make the drop for a hot free agent.

Fantasy Impacts: Hinrich has an outside shot at value with Marvin Williams heading to the bench and always banged up, but he needs to prove himself before owners should make an add in most cases. Jeff Teague didn’t lose the guy looking over his shoulder, either, but he has been playing better lately and should be owned in all 12-team formats and most 8/9 cat, 10-teamers, too. Smoove wasn’t dealt, which clearly wasn’t going to happen as we neared the deadline, and owners have to be thrilled because he’s on fire.

Fantasy Impacts: Kaman dodges bullets here and throws salt in our sell-high recommendations, but I won’t lose any sleep over that with everybody and their mother expecting a trade. He might get bought out, but with David Stern at the controls it remains to be seen how that will play out. Gustavo Ayon did not get any relief on the trade front, but it’s unclear what the banged up corps of forwards in New Orleans really has in them. Ayon has been invisible lately and could have benefited from Kaman leaving because he is good with the ball and would have seen more touches. Feel free to drop him as he hasn’t been producing much, anyway, but keep an eye on him because right now the minutes are there. Greivis Vasquez never really had a shot at Jarrett Jack leaving, but he still has a shot to get minutes whenever Monty Williams finally goes young. Ariza’s value had nowhere to go but down, so today was a win.

Fantasy Impacts:Raja Bell is not going to seek a buyout, which would have been nice, but here everybody’s values remained the same. Gordon Hayward is worth a look if he was dropped after a slow couple of days, as he is a part of the future and a good fit on the second unit.

Fantasy Impacts: The Warriors inquired about Evans and we learned that he isn’t untouchable, but the status quo remains in Sacramento. They weren’t able to pawn off any of their larger veteran contracts. Hickson staying put does not impact the rotation much, if at all, because he has fallen so far out of favor, anyway.

Fantasy Impacts: The change in value here has more to do with the firing of Mike D’Antoni than anything, which has been well-chronicled here. Jeremy Lin is a bit of a sell-high guy with Mike Woodson turning the keys over to Melo, but don’t go crazy.

Fantasy Impacts: Ramon Sessions is the big winner here, as he’ll fall somewhere between low-end and low-mid round value as the Lakers’ starting point guard. Don’t worry too much about Steve Blake, as Sessions is a clear upgrade over the declining Blake. Even in 28-32 minutes per game, Sessions should be able to put up enough numbers to justify ownership in most formats.

Fantasy Impacts: The Magic might have saved the most value for the greatest number of guys from one team, as the entire squad is built to play around Dwight Howard. If you own Ryan Anderson, you have to be pretty thrilled. All of them were on the block, as well, leaving their futures in doubt. Today, the status quo is in play, which is bad news only for J.J. Redick. He’ll need an injury to Richardson to have any real value in standard formats.

Fantasy Impacts: Gerald Wallace slides into a pretty gaping hole at small forward for the Nets, and since he was struggling mightily in Portland with the team in disarray owners have to be pretty happy. Yes, this could be a buy low moment if his owner doesn’t respect the improved environment. This puts a pretty good dent into whatever value Morrow had, because there won’t be quite as many minutes to go around, and MarShon Brooks’ owners can’t be jumping for joy. The rookie is still a part of the plan in Jersey and will get his touches, but has shied away in the past and adding a veteran like Wallace isn’t going to help that. Because the team wasn’t blown up, Humphries can continue to be the man and Williams will be more motivated to stay on the court.

Fantasy Impacts: McGee is going to have every opportunity to play as much as he did in Washington, but if anything I see his value going down and not up. He won’t get nearly as many touches within the sane confines of the Denver offense, and he’ll have an actual leash now. Kenneth Faried is a big winner, here, too, as his emergence was one of the drivers to get rid of Nene’s deal, which was called “buyer’s remorse” by management today. Al Harrington got a bit of good news when Nene's minutes left the rotation, and also because McGee is competing at a different position, but the imminent signing of Wilson Chandler isn't good news for anybody in Denver. Harrington has been a sell-high candidate for a while, but owners should hold to see where it all goes. Danilo Gallinari might take a slight hit in value, but I'm more worried about Arron Afflalo, Andre Miller, and Harrington in that department. Afflalo should be owned to see if he can hold low-end value in 8- and 9-cat leagues, though we saw the first signs of his decline in his last contest. Miller will have some productive nights and is stubborn enough to steal value from others, but planning or betting on it is another story. He can be dropped for a hot free agent.

Fantasy Impacts: Barbosa’s arrival only serves to complicate an already dicey situation for Darren Collison and George Hill. I’d stay away from all three in 12-team formats until one of them emerges, if they emerge. Roy Hibbert avoided the Pacers acquiring a big man.

Fantasy Impacts: One of the bigger draft day storylines, especially for me with my man-love for Bayless, was the fact that Calderon did not get traded. The good news is, though, that Calderon’s presence was half the story with my deciding to stash him this year. Setting his ankle injury aside, we’re seeing the real position battle take shape right now, with Calderon’s injury now putting the onus on him to get back on the floor and counter-punch back. Calderon is a notorious injury risk, but I don’t get the sense that he’ll be shut down simply to see what Bayless can do. So, yes, today was a bit of a blow to Bayless’ value, nonetheless. I’m holding Bayless at least until we know the story with Calderon, and the exit of Barbosa certainly helps, but I’m going to let Bayless fight for the job before I drop him in most cases. He’s hand-over-fist better defensively, and has a nice offensive game of his own. If you’re not as bullish as me (or in general), he is certainly somebody that you can drop for a well-positioned free agent.

Fantasy Impacts: The team with the most roster-wide action today, the Rockets only sent away one rotation guy in Hill, and added two aging vets. Camby, who likes the idea of Houston as far as I can tell, will step in and form a timeshare with Dalembert.
